Peak Rails Link to Network Rail at Matlock
Work is now progressing well at Matlock to link Peak Rail to the National Network ready to receive the proposed mainline charter on March 5th.
Some photos taken today. Best wishes, John H-T.

Sadly I have to report, according to local sources, that the proposed charter on March 5th has been put off until the summer.
best wishes, John H-T.

It seems likely as on weekdays and Saturdays, on the single line from Ambergate to Matlock as soon as the up train leaves the branch the down enters.
The only solution I imagine is for the (replaced) extra track at Matlock Platform 1 (as was) to be made a passing loop. Another train might sneak though in the quarter hour the train stands at Matlock, but it would be tight and complicated. There isnt time for EMT to run on to Rowsley and back even if EMT were agreeable.
